Chapter 245 That Child Has a Great Background

Ning Xiyue finished writing the letter in the study, and then found a ball of gray wool to match it with the defective gray sweater for Comrade Ji that she had snatched from a department store in Shanghai.

I sat there knitting a scarf without paying attention to the time until I finished the scarf to be sent to Comrade Ji, then I left the space and returned to the house.

It didn't take long to go out, wrap the packages I received and put them in the backpack.

Ning Xiyue took the letter and scarf, put on the backpack, locked the door, left here again, returned to the post office, and mailed the letter and scarf again.

This time he really left the post office, but did not leave the town. Instead, he went to the courtyard where he met Comrade Li to hand over the medicine.

Comrade Li had been waiting inside for a long time.

Ning Xiyue first gave the bone-setting and tendon-healing powder she had recently made to Comrade Li.

Comrade Li took the thing and put it in his pocket without even looking at it, and then started another important task he had to do today.

He picked up two awards for bravery and two envelopes of money from the desk and handed them to Ning Xiyue: "Comrade Ning, these are certificates for you and your second brother and a bonus of 300 each. Count them first and make sure the amount is correct before keeping them."

Ning Xiyue took the thing and looked at him inquiringly: "What is this prize? Was it the human trafficker from last time? How is the situation?"

While looking at Comrade Li and waiting for his answer, he opened the envelope, took out the money inside and counted it in front of Comrade Li.

There were indeed three hundred yuan and thirty big unity notes in each envelope, without any mistake.

Comrade Li looked away and answered Ning Xiyue's question only after he saw her confirm the amount.

"It's the reward from last time. This time the operation to capture the human traffickers was successfully concluded. It was extremely smooth. We captured more than 50 people and rescued countless children and women. We were able to quickly solve this major case and crack down on criminal activities in a short period of time. You and your second brother Ning Qingyuan's discovery and reporting played an indispensable role in this."

The more than 50 people arrested were only human traffickers, not including foreign forces. Those people were not under their jurisdiction and had been taken over by special forces.

Comrade Li did not tell Ning Xiyue about this news and only told her the part that could be told.

With a smile on his face, he spoke clearly and logically, then changed the subject and looked at Ning Xiyue apologetically and said:

"However, in order to protect your personal safety, we cannot express our gratitude publicly. We can only present you with certificates and bonuses privately as a token of our gratitude. I hope you don't mind."

"No, no, it's all for our own good, why would we mind? We don't want to cause trouble for the country. We feel extremely honored to be recognized by the organization and to contribute our own strength to the country and the people."

Ning Xiyue shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly. She accepted the reward and said with trepidation:

"It is a pleasant surprise for us to receive these two rewards. I can't express my gratitude enough. Thank you very much. Thank you for the trust of the organization. I will accept this reward on behalf of my brother."

How could she and her second brother mind? They would just be so happy. Just by feeling the thickness, they knew the amount of the bonus was very substantial. They could get the money and certificate by hiding behind the scenes and keeping themselves safe. So what if no one knew about it? They had gotten what they deserved. The open praise was meaningless to her now.

People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.

It would be a disaster if he really had that reputation. Moreover, the criminal organization we are targeting this time has many members and is complex, and it also involves secret services. It would be right not to publicize it.

Ning Xiyue touched the envelope in her hand and said: As long as I get the money, nothing else matters.

After the formalities were said, both sides spoke less formally and more casually, like old friends.

Ning Xiyue was still concerned about the children, so she asked, "Comrade Li, how are the children doing? Have they found their homes?"

"The children are temporarily gathered in one place. All cities, counties and prefectures have been notified. Parents have come to take them home one after another. I believe that it won't be long before the children can find their families. Those who can't be found will be sent to welfare homes. Women who don't want to go back will also be sent to welfare homes to help take care of their children."

Comrade Li first talked about the situation of all the women and children, knowing that Ning Xiyue most wanted to know the situation of the group of children she had rescued.

He paused and continued, "The first batch of children were the ones who had been gone for the shortest time. It was easy for them to find their families. Currently, all the children in that batch have found their families."

"How is the seriously injured child? Are his hands and feet feeling better? I've always wanted to go see him." Ning Xiyue really wanted to know the child's current condition, but she couldn't go to the hospital to see the child without the permission of the armed forces department.

"The child's broken limbs were not treated for a long time, so it was difficult to treat him. In addition, he was locked up there for more than a month, and he had psychological problems. It was a bit difficult to deal with."

Comrade Li shook his head regretfully: "If you want to see him, I can take you, but you have to go today. His family will transfer him to a big city for treatment tomorrow. You won't be able to see him even if you want to."

"Comrade Li, the medicine I'm going to give you today is for bone and tendon repair. Maybe it will be of some help to this child. I'll give you a copy of the finished product first."

Ning Xiyue took out an oil-paper bag from her bag, which contained a large portion of bone-setting and tendon-healing powder and handed it to Comrade Li.

"I'll give you this medicine first. I also know a little bit of acupuncture. Take me to the scene to check on the child's condition. If the situation is promising, using the two together might help the child's hands and feet return to normal. At least it can make him better than he is now."

"Really?" Comrade Li stared at Ning Xiyue with joy.

The elders in that child's family have some connection with his family's elders. The older generation used to be comrades-in-arms, and when he was a child, he followed the child's father and played with them.

He was still very concerned about the child's situation. When he told the story just now, he had briefly wondered if Comrade Ning had any solution. Now that he heard there was hope, he was really happy, but he still couldn't believe it and asked again to confirm.

Ning Xiyue nodded affirmatively, indicating that she was not wrong and what she just said was true.

"That's great, Comrade Ning, are you free? Let's go now." Comrade Li asked excitedly, looking forward to Ning Xiyue's answer, and couldn't wait to take people away now.

Ning Xiyue saw his eagerness. She was also thinking of going to take a look. Since she was already in town today, she might as well go there. It was rare that he still kept this matter in mind later.

She nodded decisively: "If you are free, let's go now, so I can go early and come back early."

"Come on, I'll take you there."

Comrade Li didn't say much, just stood up and took her to drive.

On the way, Comrade Li and Ning Xiyue were chatting about the child: "Comrade Ning, to be honest, that child has a great background."
